Villa / 6 bedrooms / sleeps 12

Taman Sorga has been featured in numerous architectural magazines and books showcasing 'Contemporary Balinese' luxury lifestyle – and little wonder!

With its design based on a traditional Balinese compound, successfully blending traditional and modern, this sumptuous six-bedroomed residence features a series of pavilions beautifully spread over 3,900sqm of private walled gardens fringed by coconut trees.

Highlights here are undoubtedly the magnificent living pavilion, built to the exact specifications of a traditional Balinese wantilan (village meeting hall), and the main house which, drenched with Indonesian antiques and furnishings, features exquisite craftsmanship and stunning interiors of a bygone era. Skilled artisans were commissioned to work on-site for a year, carving fine woods for the villa’s countless pillars and embellishments. It’s obvious at every turn that a great deal of passion and commitment has gone into the preservation and celebration of Bali’s rich cultural heritage and traditions at Taman Sorga.

Complementing these fascinating traditional buildings are a contemporary-style guest wing, a state-of-the-art kitchen, a modern gym, a rustic dining room, a pool house and a 17m lagoon-style pool. Hi-tech facilities and luxurious comforts are provided throughout, and the property runs smoothly courtesy of a long-serving team of staff who extend genuine warm hospitality. The two experienced chefs provide an eclectic array of culinary offerings, from Indonesian specialties to Western favourites and Mongolian barbecues, accompanied by top-notch Chilean wines from the wine cellar and finest Italian coffees. First day breakfast is complimentary, while other provisions are charged at cost price.

With its large number of bedrooms, plentiful living spaces and extensive gardens, Taman Sorga is a gift from the gods for large families or discerning groups of friends who will relish the villa’s privacy, spaciousness and authenticity, combined with a relaxed ambiance and easy access to Sanur’s beach and leisure activities. Strategically placed and served by a commendable road network, Sanur is also within convenient driving distance of many of Bali’s attractions. Chauffeur-driven car or self-drive options can be arranged at extra cost – for those willing to leave their divine sanctuary!

The Bali region

Bali is Indonesia's most popular tourist location and is considered one of Asia's premier tropical island destinations. Steeped in history and renowned for its artistic way of life, Bali is a peaceful contrast to some of the more frantic destinations Asia has to offer.

The inner peace and creative talents of the Balinese has attracted artists the world over fascinated by local dancers, silversmiths, wood carvers, potters and painters that seem to pervade throughout the island. The abundant verdant fields and surrounding sea have long supplied Bali with an easy surplus of food leaving time for life's more artistic past times. As a result everything in Bali has a creative and religious element centred around the local Banjar (residents association) – little, adorned temples are everywhere, doors are covered in intricate carvings, huge kites ward off evil spirits and colourful roadside ceremonies bring traffic to a standstill.

Bali is a popular destination principally from Australia and Asia but also from all over Europe. The island welcomes thousands of visitors each year to a relaxing lifestyle, stunning beaches, world class surf, vibrant villages, and spectacular scenery all with an exquisite tropical climate. Located approximately two hours' flying time from Singapore the island is serviced by an international airport at Denpasar with direct flights to and from many major cities in Asia, Europe and Australia and many more via Jakarta, Indonesia's capital.

The island offers an impressive range of leisure and lifestyle amenities including world-class golf courses, wonderful seascapes for surfing, diving and snorkelling as well as luxurious spas, chic boutiques, tropical forests, towering volcanoes and international cuisine.

Sanur

If Kuta is the energetic, crowded hub of Bali's tourism, the historical and easy going village of Sanur is its sleepy antithesis, sitting on Bali's south-east coast just a short distance from the capital Denpasar and 16 kilometres from the airport. Relaxed restaurants and bars line the road whilst a slew of resorts line the pretty beaches which are more protected than those on the west coast. They start from backpacking huts and progress to some of the original beach retreats, popular with celebrities of the '60s and '70s, which put Bali on the tourist map.

In common with many other tourist centres in Bali, Sanur has expanded, not always beautifully, and now boasts the 9-hole Grand Bali Beach Golf Course, a bowling centre and collection of spas and massage centres, supermarkets for provisioning, banks and ATMs, and a range of shops selling everything from simple postcards to sophisticated artwork. Bali's famous silver, teak, paintings, masks and more are all available in Sanur, which remains a charming, low key, relaxed destination.

Thirteen kilometres east of Sanur, the area collectively known as Ketewel includes a string of traditional fishing villages - Pabean, Saba, Lebih, Maceti and Ketewel itself - running along the coast. The construction of Sunrise Road (also known as the Klungkung bypass) in 2004 meant that the windswept black sand beaches of this part of the Gianyar Regency suddenly became a lot more accessible. Bounded by the River Wos, terraced rice fields, tobacco plantations, papaya and banana groves, the area is blessed with spellbinding views extending across the ocean towards the beaches of Sanur and Nusa Dua, the islands of Lembongan, Ceningan and Penida, and the mountains of East Bali.

Ketewel village itself is the origin of the celebrated Legong Bidadari Dance, and the neighbouring village of Saba produced the finest Legong dancers on the island. The nearby beach of Pabean was once a small port through which oriental traders brought their products; at low tide you can still see the structure of the old harbour, and a Chinese cemetery is located close by. Balinese Hindu purification ceremonies are held beside the ocean at the sacred Pura Segara sea temple, and the offshore reef is renowned for its surf breaks. There are no Western-style restaurants in this area, but there are plenty of local warungs (eateries), while international restaurants galore can be found just down the road in Sanur.
